T. F. Bturgess, secretary of the National
Corn exposition, returned Thursday from
a trip through Missouri, Kansas, Colorado
and western Nebraska, visiting several ag
ricultural colleges and conferring with rail
road officials.
'I never saw such crops as I saw be
tween Denver and Omaha," said Mr. Stur
gess. "In western Nebraska fields It seems
that there Is not a alnglo hill missing.
There is no doubt now about the Nebraska
corn crop. I saw but two fields which have
been Injured by too much sunshine and too
little rain. They will come out all right
If they get rain within a few days.
'As to Colorado, the oats, wheat and al
falfa crops In that state are simply beyond
comparison. I never saw such oats as they
are producing In Colorado. These growers
will be among the exhibitors at the Na
tional Corn exposition and they expect to
get the prises for oats and alfalfa, if not
for wheat."
Mr. 8turgeea said "that wherever he went
In , Colorado, where the trl-state excursion
had been, there was' a good feeling toward
Omaha, and he found 'the excursion had
told of the corn show through the adver
tising distributed and the addresses de
livered by A. W. Jefferla, the speaker for
the Omahans. , '.
In St. Louis Mr. flturgess ma.de arrange

Tha Northwesjwn Railroad company has

Mayor Charges Conspiracy.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. (.Special.)
At a regular meeting of the city counoll
last evening Mayor P. S. Cook created
sensation by charging that a conspiracy
had been formed to get the lowest bidder
on the water works contract to withdraw
In favor of the next highest bidders. Tho
mayor did not go Into detail, but stated
that the plan would be defeated and that
the city would have the work done as
cheaply as possible. Thereafter the con
tract of performing .labor Incident to the
water works construction was awarded to
Charles F. Bray On a bid of 16,582. The
city will buy pipe and other materials, and
the total coat of the work will not ex
ceed Mi. 000. By this arrangement MaVor
Cook believes he will be able to save to
the city a sum In excess of $2,000.
If .a fair business proposition from ths
banks and bunloess men of Omaha will
secure the warehouse of the National Wool
Growers' association H will be located In
Omaha without further discussion.
Omaha has submitted In a letter the
proposition to the executive committee of
the national association, which meets In
Salt Lake City August . It was expected
that It would be necessary for a number of
Omahans to go to Salt Lake City to dis
cuss the proposition with the committee,
but this plan waa abandoned at the sug
gestion of members of the committee.
Though the Commercial club and bankers
who are submitting the proposition refuse
to "tip off their hand" and give other
cities the advantage of knowing Just What
Omaha offers, it Is understood that the
promises of a bonus or a site are mini
mised. Omaha has gone ahead and erected
a wool warehouse, which will hold twenty
times as much as has been forwarded to
It this year. Omaha has. secured the stor
age In transit rates and has promises that
rates to Omaha; with proportional ra
hevond. will be granted next year.
More than that, Omaha bankers have of
fered to loan all th money required by
the wool men at market rates and on the
same terms as other collateral loans.
Other cities bidding for the warehouse
are understood to be promising only what
Omaha has already done, and bankers of
Omaha are offering to do everything which
any other banks will do, though some may
tn-omlse to dd more. Commissioner J. m
Quild, who appeared at the Cheyenne
meeting' in the Interests of the Omaha wool
market, will not go to Salt Lake City, but.
with other officers of the club, has sent
a letter to the executive committee of the
national association, telling Just what
Omaha will do and What business men of
this city expect as a result of their loyalty
to tho wool grower In erecting a ware
house in Omaha, which has already caused
an advance in the price of wool of from
8 to ( cents per pound

WHY IS LUMP SUGAR USED?
Problem that agitate tha Mlad of h
Man WI14 Wants to Run
the World.
The man who expects the world to run
Just to suit him was firing up his gastric
engine In a Douglas street restaurant
Thursday noon. The handmaid who walled
upon him was doing very well. He couldn't
even find fault with hls'roajut beef rare.
But he got In before she was ready to
hand htm his check. He waa Just about
to help himself to the granulated sugar
for his coffee, when the handmaid quickly
reached for the lump sugar and substi
tuted It. With a long-suffering smile, he
laid 'down his teaspoon and took several
lumps. Then he unburdened himself to his
neighbor: " ,
In the name of the gods of the kitchen.
In' the name of the goils of the hearth,
Prsy, tell me wise men of the nation,
w ny can t a man use granulated sugar
In his tea, coffee or cocoa, but must
have the lump article shoved at him?
Descending then from this lofty strain
to plain prose, he continued:
"If always been a mystery to me why
they always Insist on a ' busy man using
the lump sugar. It 'costs 'the restaurant
more and It Isn't any sweeter and it take
It longer to dissolve.' Now, here am I
wasting two or three extra minutes wait
ing for this saccharine cUbe'-to distribute
Its component particles through my bev
erage, whereas had I used the granulated
sugar It would already bo dissolved and
I'd be half through my lunch and out about
my business."
The man paused tai his plaint and looked
appeallngly to his neighbor, who, by way
of reply, suggested that they ask the
waitress for a olutlon' of th problem.
They called her and the man who expect
the world to run to suit him put the ques
tion. . ,
But the haughty lady of the lunch coun
ter only smiled an uncertain smile and
ventured the opinion that they Were try
ing to "kid her." ,
The two men, therefore, could only fln!h
their meal In gloom, evidently heavily op
pressed by this great Mystery.

HITCHCOCK AND ALMA ' MAN
Congressman-Editor Offends Jim by
Hntertalnlnff ghnllenherger In
Dahlman's Ballvrlck.
A. C. Shallenberger ' came to Omaha
Thursday to look after political, fences and
make hay, while Mayor Dahlman's sun
is shining in Texas., The mayor left Mon
day for the southern state, and hi oppo
nent for the democratlo nomination for
governor seized upon the opportunity to
buttonhole Douglas county voters.
. Congressman Hitchcock was one of the
first men Mr. Shallenberger called on, and
they were closeted for sometime: Later
they went out on tha street, arm In arm,
to interview politicians and certain inter
ests, and It Is said that the congressman
took the gubernatorial candidate out to
lunch. ' Appointment were made with sev
eral leader, the congressman from Mayor
Dahlman's home town being present at all
the meeting.
Following so close on the coup of C. P.
Weat. former campaign manager for Mi
Hitchcock, to nominate Comptroller Lobeck
for governor In oposltion to Mayor Dahl
man, the visit of Candidate Shallenberger
to the democratic congressman revives the
talk of possible coalition between the two
as against the mayor.
"I don't like thl business a little bit,"
aid one of the followers of Mayor Dahl
man. "The mayor will do no campaigning
In Alma or Harlan county and Mr. Shallen
berger should keep out of Omaha and
Douglas county. We elected Mr. Hitchcock
to congress and if he were a true friend
of Mr. Dahlmao he would not be seen with
Mr. Shallenberger. If Mr. Hitchcock does
not com out flatfooted for Mr. Dahlman
s.nd promise him his undivided support In
this gubernatorial fight, he will be found
In sore need of vote on election day."

For Education.
One of th important sessions of the Bos
ton biennial and one that attracted most
attention waa that devoted to education.
As the Culture club waa the mother ot the
present Splendid federation of clubs, it ia
but natural that education should consti
tute an important part of the club effort.
In the east, where educational systems are
well established and provided for finan
cially, club are striving for general ex
tension of industrial branches, and much
ha been accomplished through their ef
forts. In contrast to clubwomen who were ready
to advocate the addition of Industrial train
ing school to excellent public school sys
tems, some ot the state federation presi
dents reported that their whole attention
waa concentrated upon securing compul
sory education law. Ml M. L. (Gibson
reported for North Carolina that th club
women were trying to secure such a law
In that state, and on tor a state library
commission to -Introduce traveling libraries
.and to supervise pubic libraries. Mr. John
Threadgill of Oklahoma said that one-third
of the children of her state were not at
tending school, children were employed In
mine of were street Idler when they
should be In school, and th club women
were busy agitating law to compel school
attendance. .
Mrs. C. H. Raynor of Florida said that
three attempt for a compulsory education
law had failed, notwithstanding that 88,000
ohlldren of school age were not In school.
A child labor law had been passed, and it
wa hoped, in consequence, that the fourth
attempt which tha club women were about
to make would at last be successful. Ac
cording to Mrs.. Byron Cummings of Utah,
ths club women there were working
toward the same end.
Other Things Accomplished.
Other presidents' reports to the biennial
comprised that of Miss Bacon of Massa
chusetts, who said there were 86,000 club
women In her state who were affiliated
with the. dyneral Federation. Mrs. C. A.
Capen reported th planting of 8,600 tree
in tho course ot th last year, due to. the
influence of the clubwomen of .her state of
Connecticut. Mr. Stoddart Hammond,
president of the. NeW York State federa
tion, said that her state had 60,900 club
women, and In nine . of Its cltle were
women', fubh,ouae, aggregating, -11,000,000
In va,lue. .Mr, EX W. Blddle said that the
15,000 club, member ..in. Pennsylvania were
making special effort toward Improve
ment In public health and sanitation.
Mrs. F. H. White Of Main reported 6,000
club members, and laid that they had suc
ceeded in Inducing the Maine college to
issue degree to women this year for the
first time. Mis Anfile Law of Ohio said
the clubwomen of her state were rejoicing
over recent law relative to child labor.
which piit Ohio among the most progres
alv state In this respect. The woman'
clubs had also caused the appointment of
eight women factory Inspector. Mr. S,
E. Ellsworth of - Arkansas announced that
the State Federation of Women' clubs had
succeeded In getting the old State house,
which had been built under the direction of
a cousin of George Washington, and they
proposed to preserve It as a museum and
headquarters. Most of the state president
of women' clubs had a lengthy list of
thing accomplished In the last two year
along the line of pure food reform, for
estry preservation, better health regula
tions, advancement of education, regula
tion of child and woman labor, traveling
libraries and traveling picture exhibition.
